Working with the Agile methodology, retro and planning meeting before and after each software iteration. Having daily meeting with the team which creates and distributes the tasks.
Having a huge and complex software codebase with many subsystems, mostly in C++. This really challenges my object oriented and C++ skills. Modification of previous subsystems and creation of new ones are the implementation tasks.
Test Driven Development is being used, each subsystem is unit-tested (cxxtest) with a continuous integration program. Since the software run in more than one machine with many processes and threads the debugging is very complicated. (gdb, valgrind, tshark, wireshark) One of my bigger tasks was creating from scratch and maintaining a functional test executor tool in perl which is used in many teams in the site. Bugs are reported by a tester team and the correction-tasks are picked up by assigned team-members.
Using Git-svn for version control.
As a scrum master I enjoy introducing new Scrum techniques and trying to make software developing fun again.

Working on the MeeGo, MaeMo project (embedded, linux).
These days were rather hectic, as a contractor I got transferred between different tasks and projects rapidly.
At the beginning my task was porting an application to use the new library interfaces, which was mostly coding (C, object oriented C) and testing. This time I got more experience with debugging (gdb, valgrind).
Later, I was a member of a manager-tester-developer trio as a developer, on a project focused on integrating a trial-set of applets. I had direct contact with the other members of my team and we reported to each other and discussed problems daily. I packed some applications together (creating debian meta-packeges) took care of the installation problems and developed a configuration GUI (GTK).
Also, I was assigned to the maintanance of an applications. That time me and some other developers picked up bugreports (bugzilla) filled out by a tester team and corrected them.
Mostly these tasks had short and strict deadlines.

Worked in a team of 4-5 people, reported directly to the manager weekly. Some developers worked from home, and we kept in touch though Virtual Private Network.
All developers maintained his own part of the code, fixed the bugs and issues and took care of the integration.
My task was to develop and maintain GUIs (GTK) and handle the communication between it and the rest of the program with interprocess-communication(DBus). The programming language was C (objec oriented c, gobject).
This time I got familiar with developing to embedded systems (MeeGo, Maemo platform),
emulators, cross-compilers and Software Development kits. Debugging (gdb, valgrind)

Other experiences:

At home I enjoy developing small programs for my own fun, perl, python scripts, and QT programs:
QtMindMap (https://gitorious.org/qtmindmap) which is a MindMap software in Qt.
Qdict (http://matetelki.com/qdict/) which is a small GUI for dict.
My thesis was a Maemo statusbar plugin (http://matetelki.com/give/) which allows easy drag&drop data sending via Bluetooth.
